Although this is not a problem I'm experiencing, I think the ck-sources changelog has some interesting bits to say about the clock hz, and "maintaining accurate timer ticks"  |

Sweet!!!! it worked! I can finally play quakeIII on-line without skipping frames. W00t!
Thanks for the heads up! 
Now if I can only get Cedega to fully work with my radeon xpress 200m so I can play Guild Wars I will be all set. On to another post I guess

hrr hrrr i cant figure out how to use this flash utility in linux.. 
I download the file and open it with wine, but when i try to flash it says:
| Code: | Cannot load driver C:\308F1B\BHLASHNT.SYS
Please check your accounts, if you have no administrator rights please log in again!
File not found
Error code: 2
|
"The WinFlash utility is used to locally flash the System BIOS (ROM) on notebooks operating in a Microsoft Windows environment. "
Someone who have any ideas or tips how i solve this??

I have a windows partition on my laptop. Perhaps you cannot do this in wine because it is so windoze specific. Do you have vmware or a extra partition to spare? you might have to do some juggling with you file system. Perhaps tarball your partition and toss that on another computer and install windoze temporarily just for the flash?

Ditto aronat. I used my windows partition to apply the upgrade. Its pretty scary to run a bios upgrade in an uncertain environment! Sorry that I can't help on this one

Just a thought...I'm running linux from a usb drive. If you have another windows system, you could boot to it without swapping out or modifying the drive in your laptop by sticking it in a usb enclosure.

I tried a number of the items suggested in this thread and others. Checking for UDMA, disabling HPET, feeding in the no_timer_mumble kernel variable.
My machine has an asus sk8n/nforce3 mb. Turning off IOAPIC in the bios ended up fixing my clock drift issues. |

Mine was picking up about a half hour a day-ish. setting the ec_burst=1 and noapictimer in the kernel config seems to have worked. I have an asus a7n8x-e nforce2 mobo and kernel 2.6.17-r4.
after a few minutes i am getting stratum 4.. so we will see how long this lasts.
